Around the coast of Britain are cities where the sea shapes people’s lives. In this five-part series, narrated by Rob Bell, we hear the stories of people who live and work around Britain’s ports and rivers, doing jobs that touch us all: from shipping cars to importing bananas. Sea Cities visits Plymouth, Tyneside, Portsmouth, The Humber Estuary and Liverpool - all unique, but all gateways to the wider world and driven by the influence of the waters that surround them. We meet the lifters and shifters, engineers and riggers, the skippers and pilots, fishermen and entrepreneurs, the power-boat racers and the rowers, and the trainees and the old hands.
